Teddy Spirodakis

Theodore "Teddy" Spirodakis (died 2006) was a Greek-American compulsive gambler from Boston who was murdered by the DiMeo crime family in 2006.

Biography
Theodore Spirodakis was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a family of Greek descent, and he became an untidy and obese person and a compulsive gambler. Mafia capo Christopher Moltisanti loaned him money as a part of his loansharking business, and he did not pay his debts; Moltisanti responded by sending Eugene Pontecorvo to whack him.

Death
Moltisanti convinced Pontecorvo to fly out to Boston and take care of Spirodakis in exchange for Moltisanti putting in a good word with boss Tony Soprano (Pontecorvo had been wanting to retire). Pontecorvo entered a restaurant where Spirodakis was eating, and Spirodakis recognized him, greeting him in a friendly manner. The naive Spirodakis was shot three times by Pontecorvo, who dropped his gun as he briskly walked out of the establishment.
